Notes
To tell if an avocado is ripe, gently push with your thumb on the top where the stem connects. If the fruit is ripe enough, the flesh should give a little. If it feels too soft means the avocados are over-ripe. If it doesn’t have any give at all, then it is probably too firm and won't be ripe enough to make this recipe.
